Although we may draw the 4s orbital with the shape of a ball, there is some probability of finding the electron outside the ball we draw. Is this statement true or false? Comment on this statement.
Using Fig. 2-30, list the elements (ignore the lanthanides and actinides) that have ground-state electron configurations that differ from those we would expect from their positions in the periodic table.
ow does probability ?t into the description of the atom?
Using the periodic table and without looking at Table 7.3, write electron configurations for the following elements: (a) P (b) Zn (c) Zr (d) In (e) Pb (f) U Use the spdf and noble gas notations. When you have finished, check your answers with Table 7.3.
The outermost electron in an alkali-metal atom is sometimes described as resembling an electron in the corresponding state of a one-electron atom. Compare the first ionization energy of lithium with the binding energy of a 2s electron in a one-electron atom that has nuclear charge Zeff , and determine the value of Zeff that is necessary for the two energies to agree. Repeat the calculation for the 3s electron of sodium and the 4s electron of potassium.
The principal energy level with n=6 contains six sublevels, although not all six are occupied for any element now known. Is this statement true or false? Comment on this statement.
Without referring to your text, predict the trend of second ionization energies for the elements sodium through argon. Compare your answer with Table 2-5. Explain any differences.
How does probability fit into the description of the atom?
The energy needed to ionize an atom of element X when it is in its most stable state is 500kJmol1 . However, if an atom of X is in its lowest excited state, only 120kJmol1 is needed to ionize it. What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when an atom of X undergoes a transition from the lowest excited state to the ground state?
In defining the sizes of orbitals, why must we use an arbitrary value, such as 90% of the probability of finding an electron in that region?
